Product insights

  • BCAA Powder delivers branched-chain amino acids directly to skeletal muscle, facilitating protein synthesis and repair.
  • These amino acids have a sparing effect on muscle glycogen and protein during exercise, helping to decrease lactate production.
  • BCAAs moderate central nervous system fatigue during exertion, which supports cognitive function and mental performance.

Suggested use

From the manufacturer
Mix one rounded scoop (approximately 3.3 g) daily with 10 oz of water or juice.

The research

3 cited studies
1.
Branched-chain amino acid supplementation and muscle protein synthesis

Studies suggest that BCAA supplementation can stimulate muscle protein synthesis, particularly after resistance exercise.

2.
BCAAs and exercise-induced muscle damage

Research indicates that BCAAs may help reduce muscle damage and soreness following intense exercise.

3.
BCAAs and central fatigue

Some studies suggest that BCAAs can help reduce central fatigue during prolonged exercise by affecting tryptophan and serotonin levels in the brain.
